  • If it doesn't work in the present it wouldn't work in the future

    The film starts very promising, and certainly looks very good at least for the first half.

    But it is completely unstructured and unengaging, so you probably need to do some of the many drugs that are consumed in the film to find this interesting; if you can stomach the incredible self-indulgent and pretentious dialog the film suffers under.

    As the director said at the Q and A after the film: 'I didn't think the script was very believable so I thought it would work by setting it in the future'- do I need to say any more?

  • Check this film out!!

    This is a great and completely overlooked film. I love heist movies, but most of them is quite shallow and under developed in the use of characters. So I must say I was well impressed when I found this film by chance. An intelligent and very impressive film, why isn't more films of this quality being made in Britain???

  • Very slick and well acted

    I recently caught the film at a film festival and was very impressed. It's a very well directed film that should inspire and impress.

    And unlike most other shorts out there, he manages in just 9 minutes to tell a very complex story using the visuals instead of a lot of dialog.

    This is clearly a director that knows his stuff. James Cameron, Luc Besson et al should look out for this guy I am sure that he could do more justice to the rather poor Phillip K. Dick- and William Gibson adaptation that has been out so far.
